love it! Sunderlands are the only thing I can shoot down in SH II and my late uncle-in-law(age 95) flew PBY's on anti-sub patrol in WWII(Bay of Biscay) before upgrading to to Navy B-24 Liberators. My own dad, flying Air Transport Command on a battle-fatigued short-crewed B-29 (or B-24 bombers were modified as cargo planes and designated C-87s for long over-water flights.) from Dakar to Newfoundland low over the Atlantic on primer engine switches as the engineer-navigator(2nd lt.) took a shrapnel hit to the hand from a U-boat which mistakenly believed itself under strafe-attack(Azores) and opened up with its guns. The metal worked its way out of his hand sometime in the '60's, but I don't know what became of the "airloom"?!:03: https://amcmuseum.org/history/air-transport-command-airlift-during-wwii/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_C-87_Liberator_Express
